The Little Red Wagon Goes High Tech

It used to be simple. It was a wagon. It was red. And most children of many generations have fond memories of that fundamental of childhood. The new wagon may not be recognizable to the ‘adult-kids’ of those times:

“…Outfitted with 5-point safety harnesses, padded seats, cup holders, foot brakes and fold-out storage containers, the sleek, curved Cloud 9 has every family covered for a ride through the park. But that’s just for starters.

There’s a digital handle that tracks temperature, time, distance and speed — just in case energetic parents want to track their split times around the playground. And there’s a slot for an MP3 player, complete with speakers, for some cruising tunes.”

Those simple red wagons stretched the imagination. These prototypes can be outfitted with MP3 players. It is debatable which is better.
